E.M.G. (Needles)

Michelle Kidwell's poem brought back memories.

An E.M.G., or electromyogram, is a medical technique for evaluating and recording physiologic properties of muscles at rest and while contracting; it detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells.


Poem Artwork


Small; thin; the needles placed
in the muscles, searching for
clues to why nerves don't
conduct as they should.
Small; thin; the needles...but
exquisitely painful as
they dive into the
unknown mysteries.
Small, thin; the needles that
become electrified, shock-
and-awe portrayed on
the oscilloscope.
Small, thin; the needles which
will change your life, depending
on what the results
they will discover.
Small, thin; the needles that
have huge ramifications...
after all these years,
I still remember.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

That was the most painful office visit I ever had with my nuerologist. Never again.The pain near the back of my neck was unbearable. All for a nerve problem that corrected itself and launcged a $15000 doctor's fee. The human body is resillient and knows how to heal itself.
